    I don’t know about Masai Ujiri… Raptors been taking a lot of L’s recently. To think people complain about Joe and this team.

    KJ is the only player with the upside of becoming an offensive playmaking hub. Add to that his feel for the game. If we don't take KJ I'll be super disappointed.

    I think the case can be made for any one of him, Essengue, Bryant or Coward.

    I'd take Essengue if there. Highest upside outside of Flagg and the Rutgers guys.

    I think we gotta take the guy with the most long term potential. We might be good enough now to compete for playoffs but I am hoping for more.

    So Mark Williams traded for two picks in the 20s. That 2029 pick is a swap of PHX/HOU or lowest of UTA/MIN/CLE.

    Seems much worse than Knecht, unprotected 1st, unprotected swap.
